The Vincent Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam contacted John in February asking permission to use his Homage to Vincent in their exhibition – The Painter of Sunflowers – June 21st to September 1st 2019. This is an amazing honour, as John is a major fan of Van Gogh, whose work has inspired him for many years. They plan to use the image in a collage on one of the exhibition walls showcasing different artworks that have been inspired by Vincent van Gogh’s paintings of the Sunflowers, and in a video with these other artworks. Let us know if you get to see the exhibition.

My most recent commission. Acrylic on stretched canvas , 26” x 36” , varnished.

An homage to Jim Murphy and his favourite song writers.

I composed the painting with motifs, portraits and words referring to various aspects of Jim’s career as a songwriter and his recent graduation. Each part of the painting has a special significance for Jim. I have completed many commissions for Jim and his family over the years. In fact his home is almost like a gallery devoted to my stylised work.

I’m sorry.  Really sorry for not updating you on developments for so long.

It’s not that I haven’t any news. But I’ve been very busy and and neglectful of the site.

The good news is that I hope to post some updates in the very near future on all the colourful things I’ve been up to.

John
